Diálogos para la Paz. Miradas Desde la Diversidad. Tomo II (Coordinación)

This two-volume publication was born from the urgency of establishing a framework for cooperation that strengthens social capacities for dialogue and negotiation as a democratic mechanism for conflict management, promoting participatory democracy and peaceful and lasting dialogue on public policies, based on respect for human rights with a focus on rights, interculturalism and gender. Three universities -Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador, Universidad Central and Universidad Politécnica Salesiana- and GIZ have invited professors and researchers from different fields of the social sciences to reflect on the fundamental issues of the dialogue process that emerged in Ecuador after the national strike of June 2022. Social organizations and indigenous movements (represented by CONAIE, FENOCIN and FEINE), sat at dialogue tables with the national government, after the intervention of the Church and with the support of international cooperation through the European Union and GIZ. Dialogues for Peace: Perspectives from Diversity is, on the one hand, a diagnosis of Ecuador in numbers and socioeconomic reality, and on the other, a valuable contribution to the roadmap that both governments and Ecuadorian society must follow to build an intercultural Ecuador.
